Principal Broker / Owner

Anthony Spadafora

Some people that dream of helping people don’t just stop at getting involved – they create their own opportunities to use their skills and help people succeed. As the Principal Broker and co-founder of Mountainview Mortgage, Anthony Spadafora is an entrepreneur that did exactly that.

Prior to opening the brokerage (alongside Carolyn Callero), Anthony began with a strong background in business and finance. He obtained various educational accreditations, including a Business Administration diploma from Sheridan College, Mortgage Agent certification at Sheridan College, and earned the Mortgage Broker title at Seneca College. He’s had 13 years in the industry to hone that experience, during which time he was named in the CMP Top 75 in 2011 and 2014 (making him one of the leading Brokers in the country).

While he’s always happy to work with any client if it leads them to achieving their dream of homeownership, he specializes in working on some of the more challenging cases. This includes first time home buyers, and two categories of individuals that often require creativity and expertise to find financing for – the self-employed, and new to Canada. He has the perseverance and ability to explore every option to help people reach their goals, and isn’t shy about taking on a challenge. Contact him today to discuss your unique mortgage needs.

Mortgage Agent / Owner

Carolyn Callero

Carolyn Callero is the type of Mortgage Agent that truly grew into her role, first building relevant experience that would prove to be invaluable in her future career. With 26 years experience, she’s a veteran in the financial services industry and started her career before she even finished University.

Over the years, she was promoted multiple times as a result of her knowledge, drive, and passion for the industry. After starting as a full-time personal banker, she moved into an Account Manager/Financial Advisor role with CIBC. Having established herself after 10 years in the industry, she decided it was time to make a move into a Mortgage Specialist role at CIBC. Eventually, she transitioned to work with an independent brokerage, earning her another 15 years experience. It became clear that she was truly making a difference in the lives of her clients when in 2008 – and every subsequent year – she was named one of Canada’s top Mortgage Brokers by Canadian Mortgage Professionals (CMP)

With a wealth of experience under her belt, Carolyn decided it was time to help people plan their futures in her own way – which lead to the beginning of Mountainview Mortgage with her partner Anthony Spadafora. Since then, her past customer service experience has encouraged her to deliver consistent, personalized interactions with clients; something that really sets Mountainview Mortgage apart from many traditional lenders and brokers. She has instilled the same values in her team, making establishing long-term client relationships a fundamental component of their operations.
Carolyn works with any clients in need of mortgage or banking solutions. Contact her to learn more about what she can do to help you strive for your financial potential.

Demos Vasilakos

Like many Mortgage Brokers, Demos Vasilakos entered the industry in order to help people avoid the limitations set by traditional banks and financial institutions.

After 16 years in the mortgage industry, Demos still operates under the same principles today, and it’s helping people get ahead in life as a result of them that he most enjoys about his job. His educational background studying business at Ryerson University, and the completion of the PFP have made him a knowledgeable source to many clients in the Greater Toronto Area during his long career.

Working in the highly competitive local industry has given Demos the opportunity to work with and assist clients from a variety of backgrounds, and with very different mortgage needs. He’s a well-rounded Mortgage Broker with experience helping people purchase investment properties through commercial lending. He has also worked with individual homebuyers with bad credit, and those in need of financial planning assistance, and advice on choosing and obtaining private lending.

As an integral part of the Mountainview Mortgage team, Demos Vasilakos is looking forward to a future doing more of what he loves – helping people become successful in their financial endeavors. Certainly, your own goals must align with his, so contact him today to receive assistance in reaching your personal dreams.
